If the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII is unavailable to an indemnified party under the first or second paragraph hereof or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall severally contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Reselling Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Reselling Purchasers on the other in connection with the statement or omission that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Reselling Purchasers on the other in connection with the offering of the Notes shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes received by the Company bear to the total commissions, if any, received by all of the Reselling Purchasers in respect thereof. If there are no commissions allowed or paid by the Company to the Reselling Purchasers in respect of the Notes, the relative benefits received by the Reselling Purchasers in the preceding sentence shall be the difference between the price received by such Reselling Purchasers upon resale of the Notes and the price paid for the Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Reselling Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Reselling Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this Article VIII shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VIII, no Reselling Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes purchased by it under this Agreement and resold as contemplated herein and in the Prospectus exceeds the amount of any damages which such Reselling Purchaser has otherwise paid or becomes liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Reselling Purchasers’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Article VIII are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

IX. SURVIVAL

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Article VIII and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article VII of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by any Reselling Purchaser or on behalf of any Reselling Purchaser or any person controlling any Reselling Purchaser and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Notes.

X. TERMINATION BY RESELLING PURCHASERS

At any time prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Reselling Purchasers, by notice given to the Company, if (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York [or Toronto]⁶² shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State [or Canadian]⁶³ authorities, (iii) minimum prices shall have been established on the New York Stock Exchange by Federal or New York State authorities or (iv) any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities involving the United States [or Canada]⁶⁴ or declaration by the United States [or Canada]⁶⁵ of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis shall have occurred, the effect of any of which is such as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the General Disclosure Package[, / and[ the Prospectus [and the Canadian Offering Memorandum]⁶⁶.

XI. TERMINATION BY PURCHASERS

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Purchasers because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason (other than those set forth in Article V) the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Purchasers for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by such Purchasers in connection with the Notes. Except as provided herein, the Purchasers shall bear all of their expenses, including the fees and disbursements of counsel.

XII. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASERS

If for any reason any Purchaser shall not purchase the Notes it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the remaining Purchasers shall have the right within 24 hours to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Notes hereunder. If any Notes remain unpurchased after such 24-hour period, the amounts of Notes that the remaining Purchasers are obligated, severally, to purchase under this Agreement shall be increased in the proportions which the total amount of Notes which they have respectively agreed to purchase bears to the total amount of Notes which all non-defaulting Purchasers have so agreed to purchase, or in such other proportions as the Purchasers may specify to absorb such unpurchased Notes, provided that such aggregate increases shall not exceed 10% of the total amount of the Notes set forth in Schedule A to the Purchase Agreement. If any unpurchased Notes still remain after such 24-hour period and such increase, the Company shall have the right either to elect (i) to consummate the sale except as to any such unpurchased Notes so remaining or (ii) within the next succeeding 24 hours, to make arrangements satisfactory to the remaining Purchasers for the purchase by one or more other parties (collectively, the “Substitute Purchaser”) of such unpurchased Notes such that all of the Notes originally scheduled to be purchased hereunder shall be purchased by the non-defaulting Purchasers and such Substitute Purchaser. In such cases described in the first, second and third sentences of this paragraph, either the Purchasers [or the Representatives]⁶⁷, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for not more than seven business days to a mutually acceptable date. If the Company shall not elect to so consummate the sale pursuant to clause (i) of the third sentence of this paragraph and any unpurchased Notes remain for which no satisfactory substitute Purchaser is obtained pursuant to clause (ii) of the third sentence of this paragraph, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company for the purchase or sale of any Notes under this Agreement. No provision in this paragraph shall relieve any defaulting Purchaser of liability to the Company for damages occasioned by such default.

⁶²	Include if Notes will be C$ denominated.

⁶⁴	Include if Notes will be C$ denominated.

⁶⁵	Include if Notes will be C$ denominated.

⁶⁶	Include if Notes will be C$ denominated.

⁶⁷	Include if applicable.

XIII. NO ADVISORY OR FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Notes and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Purchasers, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, each Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, or its stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Purchaser has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (e) the Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed by it to be appropriate.

Re:	Verizon Communications Inc.

Notes due

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have been requested by Verizon Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as [insert applicable title] of the Company, to furnish you with my opinion pursuant to Paragraph (B) of Article IV of the Standard Debt Securities Purchase Agreement Provisions ( Edition) attached as Annex A to the Purchase Agreement dated (the “Agreement”) among the Company and you, relating to the purchase and sale of [$/€/£/C$] ,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Notes due (the “Notes”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

In this connection, I, or attorneys under my direction, have examined among other things:

(a) The restated certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Company, each as presently in effect;

(b) A copy of the indenture dated as of December 1, 2000 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the supplemental indenture dated as of May 15, 2001 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), as further supplemented by the supplemental indenture dated as of September 29, 2004 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), as further supplemented by the supplemental indenture dated as of February 1, 2006 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), as further supplemented by the supplemental indenture dated as of April 4, 2016 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”) and as further supplemented by the supplemental indenture dated as of May 15, 2020 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Original Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), under which the Notes are being issued, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to Wachovia Bank, National Association, formerly known as First Union National Bank) (the “Trustee”);

(c) [The Supplemental Indenture, dated as of between the Company and the Trustee/The resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, adopted , (the “Board Resolution”)/The certificate, dated , of authorized officers of the Company pursuant to authorization from the Board of Directors] specifically authorizing the Notes, including the issuance and sale of the Notes;

(d) The Notes;

(e) The Agreement;

(f) The records of the corporate proceedings of the Company relating to the authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture, [the Supplemental Indenture,] the Agreement and the Notes;

(g) The records of all proceedings taken by the Company relating to the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”); and

(h) The Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as each such term is defined in the Agreement, including all documents filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are incorporated therein by reference (the “Incorporated Documents”).

[(i) The Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Transfer Agent and Sub-Authenticating Agent Agreement dated as of , 20[ ] , among the Company, the Trustee and BNY Trust Company of Canada (the “Canadian Agent”).]⁶⁸

I, or attorneys under my direction, have examined and relied on originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, certificates of public officials and other instruments relating to the offer and sale of the Notes as I have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of this opinion. In such examination I have assumed that all signatures on all such documents are genuine and that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, and that copies of all documents submitted to us are complete and conform to the original documents.

On the basis of my examination of the foregoing and of such other documents and matters as I have deemed necessary as the basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is a duly licensed and qualified foreign corporation in good standing under the laws of those jurisdictions in which the Company’s ownership of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification (except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the business, business prospects, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Company), and has adequate corporate power to own and operate its properties and to carry on the business in which it is now engaged.

2. All legal proceedings necessary to the authorization, issue and sale of the Notes have been taken by the Company.

3. The Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

4. The Indenture is in proper form, has been duly authorized, has been duly executed by the Company and the Trustee and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights. The enforceability of the Indenture is subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including without limitation (i) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (ii) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. The Indenture has been duly qualified under the TIA.

5. The Notes (i) conform as to legal matters in all material respects with the description thereof in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (ii) have been duly authorized and executed by the Company, and (iii) assuming due authentication and delivery thereof by the Trustee and payment therefor by the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and subject to the qualifications set forth in paragraph 4 above, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms and are entitled to the benefits afforded by the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and of the Notes.

6. Except as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of certain jurisdictions, no authorization, approval or consent of any governmental or regulatory authority of the United States of America, the State of New York or the State of Delaware is required for the issuance and sale of the Notes.

7. The execution and delivery of the Agreement, the Notes and the Indenture and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein will not result in a violation of or conflict with the provisions of the restated certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company or any law, statute, order, decree, rule or regulation known to me of any court or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company or its property.

⁶⁸	Include if Notes will be C$ denominated.

8. To my knowledge there is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries which would affect the subject matter of the Agreement.

9. The Registration Statement became effective under the Act, and, based solely upon a review of filings on the website of the Commission, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission, and, to the best of my knowledge, no proceeding for that purpose is pending or threatened by the Commission. The Registration Statement as of its most recent effective date (including each deemed effective date pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Act), the Pricing Prospectus as of the Applicable Time, and the Prospectus as of the date thereof (except any financial statements or other financial data included in or omitted from, or incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, as to which no opinion is expressed) appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects relevant to the offering of the Notes, to the requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. For purposes of this paragraph, I have assumed that the statements made in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are correct and complete. The Prospectus is lawful for use for the purposes specified in the Act in connection with the offer for sale and sale of the Notes in the manner specified in the Prospectus, subject to compliance with the provisions of securities or Blue Sky laws of certain States in connection with the offer for sale or sale of the Notes in such States.

In addition, I confirm to you that I have no reason to believe (A) that the Registration Statement and the Incorporated Documents, considered as a whole on the effective date of the Registration Statement (including each deemed effective date pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Act), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) that the General Disclosure Package and the Incorporated Documents, considered as a whole as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) that the Prospectus and the Incorporated Documents, considered as a whole as of the date of the Prospectus and on the date hereof, contained or contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that in each case I make no statement and express no belief as to the financial statements and schedules or other financial and accounting information and data or management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting contained therein.

In rendering the opinions contained herein, I am acting solely in my capacity as counsel to the Company, and I am not engaged or acting as counsel for any other person or entity. I disclaim any responsibility or duty to conduct any further investigation of the matters addressed herein after the date hereof, and disclaim any responsibility or duty to bring to your attention any change in the information herein.

I express no opinion: (a) as to whether a United States federal or state court outside the State of New York would give effect to the choice of New York law in the Indenture and the Notes; (b) as to the subject-matter jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Indenture; and (c) any waiver of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine with respect to proceedings in any court other than a court of the State of New York.

I express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of New York, the Federal laws of the United States of America and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware.

Without my prior written consent, the opinions contained herein may not be relied upon by any person or entity other than the addressees, quoted in whole or in part, or otherwise referred to in any report or document, or furnished to any other person or entity, except that Milbank LLP [and __________] may rely upon the opinions contained herein as if this letter were separately addressed to them.

VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC.

[$/€/£/C$] ,000 Notes due

and the other several Purchasers

referred to in the Purchase Agreement

dated , among such

Purchasers and Verizon Communications Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have been designated by Verizon Communications Inc. (the “Company”) as counsel for the purchasers of [$/€/£/C$] ,000 aggregate principal amount of its Notes due (the “Notes”). Pursuant to such designation and the terms of a Purchase Agreement dated , relating to the Notes (the “Purchase Agreement”), entered into by you with the Company, we have acted as your counsel in connection with your several purchases this day from the Company of the Notes, which are issued under an Indenture dated as of December 1, 2000, as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to Wachovia Bank, National Association, formerly known as First Union National Bank), as Trustee. We are furnishing this letter to you pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein that are not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined (i) the Pricing Prospectus, (ii) the Prospectus, (iii) the Purchase Agreement, (iv) the Indenture, (v) the specimen of the Notes, and (vi) originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company, indentures, agreements and other instruments, certificates of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and other documents, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to various questions of fact material to such opinions, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon certifications by officers and representatives of the Company and statements contained in the General Disclosure Package and the Registration Statement hereinafter mentioned.

In our examination of the documents referred to above we have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, that:

(a) except, in each case, to the extent specifically set forth below with respect to the Company, (i) each party to the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (ii) each party to the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes has full power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under such agreements; (iii) the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the parties thereto; and (iv) the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes have been duly executed and delivered by such parties and are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such parties;

(b) the making and performance of each of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes by the respective parties thereto do not, in the case of any such party, contravene, and such agreements are not invalid or unenforceable under, the law of the jurisdiction of organization of such party;

(c) you, the Company and the subsequent purchasers of the Notes have complied, and will comply, with the respective covenants and agreements made by you, the Company and subsequent purchasers of the Notes in the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes, as the case may be;

(d) performance of each of the Purchase Agreement, Indenture and Notes by the respective parties thereto do not, in the case of any such party, contravene, and such agreements are not invalid under, the law of the jurisdiction of organization of such party; and

(e) the Notes have been duly authenticated by the Trustee.

In addition, we attended the closing held today [at the offices of the Company at One Verizon Way, Basking Ridge, New Jersey/via teleconference], at which the Company caused the Notes to be delivered to and held by the [insert name of the recipient of the Notes][ on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇/, as common depositary on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream], for your several accounts, against payment therefor.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject also to the assumptions and qualifications set forth below, and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and on behalf of the Company.

3. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (A) as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally; and (B) as the enforceability thereof is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including without limitation (i) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (ii) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

4. The Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Notes and the Indenture conform as to legal matters in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The Notes, when authenticated by the Trustee under the Indenture and issued and paid for by the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, and are entitled to the benefits afforded by the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and of the Notes (subject to the qualifications in paragraph 3 above).

5. On the basis of information received by the Company from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the Registration Statement, as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement, filed with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), is effective under the Act and, to our knowledge based on our review of the Commission’s website, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and, to our knowledge, no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened.. The Prospectus is lawful for use for the purposes specified in the Act, in connection with the offer for sale and sale of the Notes in the manner therein specified, subject to compliance with the provisions of securities or Blue Sky laws of certain States in connection with the offer for sale or sale of the Notes in such States. For the purposes of this paragraph 5, the term “knowledge” means the current actual knowledge of the attorneys at our firm who are actively and directly involved in the representation of the Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

6. The Registration Statement, as of its most recent effective date (including each deemed effective date pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2)), the Pricing Prospectus, as of the Applicable Time, and the Prospectus, as of the date thereof (except any financial statements or other financial data included in or omitted from, or incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus as to which no opinion is expressed) appear on their face to be appropriately responsive, in all material respects relevant to the offering of the Notes, to the requirements of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as applicable, and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are correct and complete.

We express no opinion (a) as to whether a United States federal or state court outside the State of New York would give effect to the choice of New York law in the Indenture and the Notes; (b) as to the subject-matter jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Indenture; or (c) any waiver of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine with respect to proceedings in any court other than a court of the State of New York.

The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the law of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal law of the United States. The opinions contained herein are rendered to you and are solely for your benefit in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. These opinions may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or furnished to, quoted or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written consent. We disclaim any obligation to update anything herein for events occurring after the date hereof.

referred to in the Purchase Agreement

dated , among such

Purchasers and Verizon Communications Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We acted as counsel for the Purchasers in connection with the purchase by you of [$/€/£/C$] ,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes due (the “Notes”) issued by Verizon Communications Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement dated , relating to the Notes (the “Purchase Agreement”), entered into by you with the Company. We are furnishing this letter to you pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein that are not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.

As counsel for the Purchasers, we reviewed the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (each such document being prepared by the Company), we reviewed certain corporate records and documents furnished to us by the Company and we participated in discussions with counsel for and representatives of the Company, independent registered public accountants for the Company and your representatives regarding the contents of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and related matters. We note that we did not participate in the preparation of the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, although we have reviewed such documents and considered the factual matters set forth therein as a part of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as of the dates set forth in this letter. The purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus and we have not undertaken to verify independently any of such factual matters. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature. Accordingly, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements except to the extent set forth in paragraph 4 of our separate opinion letter to you dated the date hereof. In addition, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for ascertaining whether or when any of the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus was conveyed to any person for purposes of Rule 159 under the Act.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing we confirm to you that nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial and accounting information and data and management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as to which we express no belief and make no statement), as of its most recent effective date (including each deemed effective date pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2)), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the General Disclosure Package (other than the financial statements and other financial and accounting information and data and management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as to which we express no belief and make no statement), as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and other financial and accounting information and data and management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as to which we express no belief and make no statement), as of its date and as of the Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

This letter is furnished to you by us as counsel to the Purchasers, is solely for the benefit of the Purchasers in connection with the closing under the Purchase Agreement of the sale of the Notes occurring today and may not be used, quoted, relied upon or otherwise referred to by any other person or for any other purpose without our express written consent in each instance.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules audited by us and included or incorporated by reference in Verizon’s [Annual Report on Form 10-K at December 31, 20[•]]/[Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on [•]] and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.

3.	[INCLUDE IF REVIEW COVERS QUARTERLY FINANCIALS]

With respect to the three-month periods ended March 31, [June 30] and [September 30,] 20[•] and 20[•] [and the six-month periods ended June 30, 20[•] and 20[•]][and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20[•] and 20[•]], we have:

Performed the procedures specified by the PCAOB for a review of interim financial information as described in ▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial Information, on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for these periods, included in Verizon’s quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 20[•], [June 30, 20[•]] and [September 30, 20[•]] incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements; and

ii.

Inquired of certain officials of Verizon who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters as to whether the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements referred to under [3.a.i.] comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Exchange Act as it applies to Form 10-Q and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.

[INCLUDE IF REVIEW INCLUDES MONTHLY AUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS]

With respect to the period from [beginning of month], 20[•] to [end of month], 20[•], we have:

Read the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Verizon for [months covered by the period] of both 20[•] and 20[•] furnished to us by Verizon, officials of Verizon having advised us that no such financial statements as of any date or for any period subsequent to [end of month], 20[•] were available. The financial information for [months covered by the period] are incomplete in that it omits the statement of comprehensive income and footnote disclosures; and

ii.

Inquired of certain officials of Verizon who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters as to whether the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements referred to under [3.b.i.] are stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

The foregoing procedures do not constitute an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Also, they would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments in the following paragraphs. Accordingly, we make no representations as to the sufficiency of the foregoing procedures for your purposes.

4.	Nothing came to our attention as a result of the procedures in [3.a][3.b] above that caused us to believe that:

[INCLUDE FOR FINANCIALS COVERED BY [3.A] ABOVE]

Any material modifications should be made to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, for them to be in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles;

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements discussed above do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Exchange Act as it applies to Form 10-Q and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC; or

[INCLUDE FOR FINANCIALS COVERED BY [3.B] ABOVE]

(i) at [end of month], 20[•], there was any change in the common stock, increases in consolidated net current liabilities or long-term debt or any decrease in total equity of Verizon as compared with the amounts shown in the [month of quarterly financials covered by [3.b.]], 20[•] unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement [except for description to be provided, if any]; or (ii) for the period from [month], 20[•] to [month], 20[•], there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated operating revenues or consolidated net income [except for description to be provided, if any].

As mentioned under [3.b.i.] above, Verizon’s officials have advised us that no consolidated financial statements as of any date or for any period subsequent to [end of month], 20[•] are available; accordingly, the procedures carried out by us with respect to changes in financial statement items after [month], 20[•] have, of necessity, been even more limited than those with respect to the periods referred to in [3.a.] and [3.b.] above. We have inquired of certain officials of Verizon who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters as to whether: (i) at [•], 20[•] there was any change in the common stock, increases in net current liabilities or long-term debt, decreases in total equity or any decreases in consolidated net current assets or shareholders’ equity of Verizon as compared with the amounts shown on the [month of quarterly financials covered by [3.b.]], 20[•] unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or (ii) for the period from [•], 20[•] to [•], 20[•], there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated operating revenues or consolidated net income. Those officials were unable to respond to our inquiries regarding (i) any such change in the common stock, any such increases in net current liabilities or long-term debt, or any decrease in total equity, and (ii) any such decreases in consolidated operating revenues or consolidated net income for the period from [•], 20[•] to [•], 20[•] because no financial statements as of any date after, or for any period subsequent to [month], 20[•] were available.
